Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9640809A1] The present invention is directed to a porous terpolymer microparticle having a high oil absorbency. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: dissolving butyl methacrylate, allyl methacrylate, and an ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in a mole ratio of about 1:3 to 5:5 to 7 respectivement, along with an effective amount of oil soluble polymerization initiator in a volatile and a substantially water immiscible organic solvent to provide a monomer mixture; adding the monomer mixture to a larger volume of an aqueous solution having an effective amount of a suspension stabilizer dissolved therein to form an organic/acqueous biphasic liquid system; vigorously stirring the biphasic liquid system at a rate sufficient to cause the water immiscible organic phase to be suspended as microdroplets in the aqueous phase; allowing polymerization to occur in the suspended microdroplets to produce a microporous terpolymer microparticle therein; and separating the microporous terpolymer microparticle from the volatile and substantially water immiscible organic solvent to produce a microporous and oil sorbent terpolymer microparticle characterized by having a mean diameter of less than 25 microns and a total sorption capacity for mineral oil that is 72 % by weight or greater. The present invention is further directed to a microporous and oil absorbent microparticle comprising a terpolymer of butyl methacrylate, allyl methacrylate and an ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in a mole ration of 1:3 to 5:5 to 7 respectively, the microparticle characterized by having a mean unit diameter of less than 25 microns and a total sorption capacity for mineral oil that is 72 % by weigh or greater.
